	\section{Bonus Problems}

	\problem{}
	Given a cube $A_1B_1C_1D_1A_2B_2C_2D_2$ with side length $l$, \par
	find the angle and distance between lines $A_1B_2$ and $A_2C_1$.

	\begin{solution}
		Triangle $A_1B_2D_2$ is equilateral. \par
		Also, point $A_2$ is equidistant from each of this triangle's vertices. \par
		Therefore, its projection onto the plane formed by $A_1$, $B_2$, and $D_2$ is the center of the triangle. \par

		\vspace{2mm}

		Similarly, $C_1$ is mapped to the center of $A_1B_2D_2$. \par
		Therefore, lines $A_1B_2$ and $A_2C_1$ are perpendicular and the distance between them is
		equal to the distance from the center of triangle $A_1B_2D_2$ to its side.

		\vspace{2mm}

		Since all the sides of this triangle have length $l\sqrt{2}$, the distance in question is $\frac{a}{\sqrt{6}}$.

	\end{solution}

	\vfill

	\problem{}
	Consider a cube $A_1B_1C_1D_1A_2B_2C_2D_2$, and let $K$, $L$, \par
	and $M$ be midpoints of the edges $A_2D_2$, $A_1B_1$, and $C_1C_2$. \par
	Show that the triangle formed by $KLM$ is equilateral, and that its center is the center of the cube.

	\begin{solution}
		Let $O$ be the center of the cube. Then, $|OK| = |C_1D_2|$, $|2OL| = |D_2A_1|$, and $2|OM| = |A_1C_1|$. \par
		Since triangle $C_1D_2A_1$is equilateral, triangle $KLM$ is equilateral and has $O$ as its center.
